Some people need to learn how to choose their battles. This guy chose a body bag...

EL PASO, (March 23, 2024) — A man was shot and killed by an El Paso police patrol officer at a car wash in the Upper Valley, a police spokesman said.

The shooting occurred about 1 a.m. on Tuesday, March 5, when a patrol officer went to check on a man (later identified as, Michael Estrada, age 30) in a vehicle inside a self-serve car wash bay at 5830 Doniphan Drive.

Investigators are still looking into the encounter resulting in the officer fatally shooting the man, who died at the scene. Doniphan Drive was closed because of the investigation.

The officer has been with the El Paso PD for 13 years and is assigned to the Westside Regional Command. Names and other details have not been disclosed as an investigation continues.

The shooting is under investigation by the police department's Shooting Review Team, the Crimes Against Persons Unit, Internal Affairs and the Texas Rangers as is standard procedure when El Paso police are involved in a shooting.

Good shooting. He was a pretty patient officer. I’m surprised he was as cool as he was with the kid sitting there searching through stuff.

Glad he shot the dude.

I was surprised when the brake lights came on like he was actually going to pull away.

I still can't help but think cops are pussies when they hide behind a dumpster after unloading 7 shots point blank on a guy.

You watch too many movies, kid. Even if all 7 rounds hit the guy, wtf makes you think that it instantly killed him?

Nearly a minute after the shooting, the brake lights come on for several seconds before going off. That would certainly indicate signs of life. If the a-hole had the strength to apply the brakes, why couldn't he also pull a trigger?

The cop's not a coward for doing the smart thing in a tactical situation. Sorry, but if you think your masculinity is jeopardized by using sound judgement, then maturity and adulthood are going to hit you like a shovel.
